FutureB
The phones sank the Eagles this weekend: D. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Eagles started one anyway for Eric Watts, 58 picks ahead of schedule.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. With interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.
For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. On value alone, Pritchett makes the weekend a net positive.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick33
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the 33rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Nubin at Round 2, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick50
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in No. 50, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick53
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Payton Wilson at linebacker with interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick62
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at pick No. 62 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at No. 81 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102
Rnd4
Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in the 102nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Johnny Wilson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
They reached a country mile for Justin Eboigbe at Round 4, Pick 30, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in pick 161 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tykee Smith at slot 171 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172
Rnd5
Eric Watts
Value said wait; Eric Watts in pick No. 172 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick210
Rnd6
Brevyn Spann-Ford
A wild overpay on Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick 210, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
